who left the key under a stone
two tenants ago, three winters back.

What the Cartographer Left Out

called them passes, gave them roads
that never came. A cartographer's hope
is just a line drawn where a line might go.

each lane a silver nerve lit by passing headlights,
and the gutters carry whole constellations
broken into coins of trembling light.

Wild fennel shoulders through cracked concrete,
and moths rehearse small prayers around the lens,
a cold moon cupped like milk in broken glass.

of someone else's attention. I trace
the underline beneath a sentence about sorrow.
